Both the council and the house adjourned
this evening to meet again for the trans
action of business on Wednesday afternoon
The house will have roll call on Monday,
to save the members their per diem but will
tranGact no other business on that day. The
adjournment was taken over for the reason
that majority of the members desired to
get home for the 22d. Both houses are very
much behind with business Committees
have their hands full, especially the judc-
ary and appropriations, and there are neally
forty bills on general orders in the house
alone. Bills which have passed 30 far are,
as rule, of comparatively little 1mpor-
tance. Those which will cause tho most
talk and consume the most time arc yet TO
be reached. II the committees use good
ures Of importance in position to be acted
upon, but great gl1st OF bills ia certain to
fail Of consideration, and perhaps that Is q
fact for congratulation-
